Well, Christmas in Seattle was a brisk three day adventure, as apparently no rest for the wicked: I'm off to Costa Rica through New Year. The family decided to not do presents this year and have a low key Christmas. It was nice to see them all and spend some time. It's interesting the proposition of completely obliviating the holiday presents - I'm glad we did that, actually. It feels strange to not have stockings, but I feel in the Christmas spirit since working on the Toys for Tots event the other weekend - putting up a tree and lights - and sending out Christmas cards over the last couple weeks.
So it's Christmas today, and I'm off to Costa Rica. The crew going includes college friend Ethan, Ethan's brother Cleary, and random adventure seeker and new friend Trish. We'll do canopy tours, sit in a small village for one night, and hit the beach for a few days, then back to San Jose for New Year's Eve. Hopefully I can get a chance to post once a day while there... stay tuned!
